Ray Donovan Renewed For Third Season

Shaw plays a Boston Globe reporter in season 2 and was complimented for her "playfulness" and "intelligence" by Voight.

Finally coming to the leading man of the Showtime series, Voight was all high praise, and stated that Schreiber was finally getting to mine his true potential with the series.

"I've always thought of Liev as a leading man," he said. "As I've looked at his work over the last several years -- since I worked with him on [the 2004 remake of] "The Manchurian Candidate" -- it's really been extraordinary, but I'd see him play the second character here or the third character there. I wanted to see him as No. 1 on the call sheet. I wanted to see a piece played through his eyes."

The second season premiered on July 13.

The next episode of Ray Donovan will air on Sunday, September 7 on 8 pm ET/PT on Showtime.
